Plan to install CCTV cameras in Itanagar: Minister

Arunachal Pradesh Home Minister Kumar Waii today said there was a plan to install CCTV cameras in the city to ensure safety and security of the people.

The cameras will be monitored by a city surveillance centre, Wali told a function after inaugurating a police assistance booth in the Rama Krishna Mission Hospital here.

The minister appealed to the people to cooperate with the police to maintain the law and order in the state.

The parents and guardians of a section of the unemployed youth who resort to extortion should shoulder responsibility to discipline them instead of blaming the police, he said.

He lauded the hospital for selfless service to the poor people and said the police booth was provided as desired by Chief Minister Pema Khandu to extend help on the spot. Another such booth would be set up in the Tomo Riba Memorial Institute of Medical and Health Science at Naharlagun, he said.

Rama Krishna Mission secretary Swami Vishaswnanda maharaj thanked the chief minister for providing the booth to tackle problems relating to emergency medico-legal and trauma cases.
